Thread Name: Origins/Meaning: Follow the Drinking Gourd
Subject: RE: Origins: Follow the Drinking Gourd meanings
Just noticed that I attributed Parks article (and composition?) to Dobie. The volume "Follow de Drinkin' Gou'd" was edited by J. Frank Dobie, but he was author of only two of the articles, "More Ballads and Songs of the Frontier Folk," and (as co-author) "Pioneer Folk Tales."
No excuse for my sloppiness.
